1 Department of 1 Department of Department of Physical Sciences Building, Room 119 (909) Department of ( Bachelor of Arts Bachelor of Science Applied Minor Applied Traditionally, physics majors have gone on to graduate work in physics, high school teaching, or employment in industrial or government laboratories. Other opportunities which have recently become interesting for physics graduates include atmospheric physics (including air pollution studies), geophysics, radiation safety, oceanography, astrophysics, technical administration, biophysics, computer science and medical instrumentation development. The program for a bachelor of arts degree in physics provides basic knowledge in the main subject areas of physics as well as an opportunity for students to elect a considerable number of s in other disciplines. This is a good choice for students planning careers in high school teaching. The bachelor of science program includes additional work in physics and related fields which further prepares a student for employment or graduate work. The Applied option is designed to prepare students for direct employment in high-technology firms upon graduation. For traditional design tasks, high-technology firms typically hire applied physicists with a flexible and creative technical ability who can address a wide range of technical problems and develop an experimental system to attack problems. A solid understanding of theoretical physics across the curriculum is required and the ability to design, interface and control experimental apparatus. Because the tasks that applied physicists perform in the industrial environment are primarily experimental in nature, this option includes a number of laboratory s in addition to the theory curriculum core: PHYS 150. Introductory Electronics; CSE 201. Computer Science I; PHYS 350. Data Acquisition and Control; PHYS 352. Advanced Electronics; and PHYS 430. Advanced Laboratory. The s in the applied physics option prepare students to function effectively in the computer-based experimental environment that they face in research and development, testing or process control. Pre-engineering - The campus provides a pre-engineering program that enables students to complete the first two years of s generic to engineering. Students may then transfer to an accredited engineering program of their choice. The following s have been recommended as appropriate transfer s: CHEM 216 General Chemistry II: Principles of Chemical Reactions MATH 211 Basic Concepts of Calculus 4 MATH 212 Calculus II 4 MATH 213 Calculus III 4 MATH 251 Multivariable Calculus I 4 MATH 252 Multivariable Calculus II 4 PHYS 221 General I 5 PHYS 222 General II 5 PHYS 223 General III 5 Selected s in computer science and general education Students considering a physics or pre-engineering major should call the department office for advising. Departmental Honors To be awarded departmental honors in physics a student must: 1. Achieve at least a 3.5 minimum grade point average in s required for the major taken at California State University, San Bernardino and at least a 3.0 grade point average overall; 2. Conduct advanced research on a topic approved by a faculty member who will serve as project director; 3. Obtain written approval upon successful completion of the project from the project director and the chair, and present the results of the research to the department or at a research conference, and/or publish the results in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
